Product Specification

CO2 Engine BLG
Sensor module for environment parameters logging

CO2 Engine BLG NDIR CO2 Sensor Modules General
? This document describes a family of sensor modules CO2 Engine BLG designed to measure and store records of environmental parameters such as
- Temperature
- Relative Humidity
- CO2 concentration (up to 30% range).
? The sensor module CO2 Engine BLG is designed for battery powered operation with low average power consumption without compromising measurement precision and resolution.
? Virtual RTC (Real Time Clock) allows data and events logging with time stamps.
? Events include sensor power on, logging start/stop, ABC self calibration, user initiated zero and background calibrations.
? Reading of logger via I2C connector and SenseAir's I2C - USB bridge (SADK).
? I2C or UART communication can be used to read logged data for built in modules.

CO2 Engine BLG NDIR CO2 Sensor Modules Applications
The sensor can be used in a wide range of applications such as in food transportation, storage, incubators and other high range applications.

¹ SO2 enriched environments are excluded.
² Sensors are 100% tested in production at 45C / 85%RH / 1000ppm CO2 for one hour. For applications operating continuously in high humidity, contact SenseAir for further information.
³ Different options exist and can be customized depending on the application. Please, contact SenseAir for further information!
⁴ Notice that absolute maximum rating is 12V, so sensor can not be used with 12V+-10% supply.
⁵Accuracy is specified over operating temperature range at normal pressure 1013 mBar. Specification is referenced to certified calibration mixtures. Uncertainty of calibration gas mixtures (+-2% currently) is to be added to the specified accuracy for absolute measurements.
⁶ Specification is provided by Sensirion.
⁷ Minimum 5 minutes measurement period.
